[594] ἄλλοι, strangers, as 3.301, 6.456. Zen.'s “δῆιοι” is needless. βαθυζώνους, only here and Od. 3.154 in H. It occurs four times in Hymn. Cer., Persae 155, Pind. P. ix. 2(of the Charites), Pind. O. iii. 35(of Leda), and elsewhere. The idea of the schol. Od. 3.154, that it applies only to barbarian women, is clearly wrong. Studniczka (Beitr. p. 120) sees in the word an allusion to the deep bend made in the full lines of the peplos by the girdle round a slim waist; so that we might almost translate slender-waisted. Cf. “βαθύκολπος”.
